I get lots of leaves in the pool. Will this device pink them up?

I don't think it will. The intake slots are small, and the leaves would probably jam in the intakes.

So far it's done really good at picking most things up, but large leaves get stuck in the intake doors. It does ok with a couple of leaves, but if there was a lot, I would try something else.

If you get the accessory large bag and frame, then yes. The basic filters (there are two) are fairly small. They do great on keeping a relatively clean pool sparkling. But, if you have a lot of leaves from overhanging tree limbs, like we do, then you will need to get the large bag. The small ones will clog quickly. They work, but it will take a lot of cleaning of the filters.

no my dolphin does a terrible job picking up leaves. I am very disappointed so far. I am going to order the accessory leaf bag and hope it works better.

It can suck some small leaves in, but not a whole mess of them. I love the skimmer, because I have to plug my kreepy krawler into my skimmer to clean the pool, so when I do this , I cannot clean the surface. The skimmer motion keeps the surface clear of scum,small bugs and small leaves. I am happy with it.

Depends on what kind of debris you have in the bottom of your pool. Thin leaves and small debris/dirt won't stay in it unless you put a stocking inside. It will go through to your filter basket. It works well with larger leaves. Also, the diameter of the intake is just a tad bit smaller than a normal vacuum hose. I had to pick up an adapter at my local pool store. Hopes this helps.

Absolutely. If you have an excessive amount of leaves I would suggest using a dip net to clear what you can otherwise you will have to clean out your skimmer rather quickly because it will fill up.

it will suck it up, but when pulling the Vac out of the pool let it drain over the side as the filter does Not retain the algae, it will fall back into the pool.

I've read that if you remove the hose and leave it lay flat in the sun it will reprogram itself to a new path in the pool. It seemed to help when I did it.

It works great but you do have to clean the internal screen or it will slow down or stop completely. How often you need to clean the screen will depend on how dirty your pool is. Mine has been going strong for over a year.

It seems to help but you need to watch for two issues; the Twister can clog up with leaves and debris and the pressure on your cleaner may be set too high. With settings right, mine never gets twisted and the Twister has solved a problem with spots not previously cleaned with just the automatic cleaner. I do have mine attached to my leaf canister and directly insert both in the pool side inlet because it will not seal completely without being under water.

i think it will do a good job of the leaves. Just be aware of the collection bag it seems that the stitching at the end where it connects to the plastic fitting opens up. I have read about this happening to other people but it did not stop me from buying it. I purchased an upolstery sewer it is a very cheap tool and it took care of the problem GOOD LUCK

I didn't use this on a pool but did on a yard vac that handles leaves and dirt. It has withstood a constant barrage of leaves over the last two seasons and is still hanging in there. It could possibly work for you in that application as long as it is facing up.

It depends on the size of the leaves. The hedges around my pool and the naighborhood have small leaves (1 to 2 inches). The tiger Shark is ideal for this size. It picks up the leaves,grass and dust real good. The catchment is fairly good sized and its easy to clean. It saves a lot of energy compared to the old pump system that I had. Recommended.

YES! I have a salt water pool and it works great. Occasionally, you may want to rinse off any salt which accumulates on the top of the cover with a garden hose just to keep it looking new and clean.

I cant say for SURE, but I have bougainvilleas and the Solar Breeze even picks up the 4 inch branches that are floating in the pool. So far I have had this over 7 months and I can tell you it gets half eaten dog toys, Styrofoam(half eaten by same dog), every leaf I have and it even got a frog(still alive). I am really impressed by this and if you read my previous post I am now past the point that it has paid for itself. MY POOL HAS NEVER LOOKED BETTER.

yes, I'd say so. You will need a way to vacuum it all up. A Clarifier clumps all the particles floating in your pool. This includes algae too. the dead bodies of lagae float around after you shock or use chlorine. Read the instructions, add per instructions- it won't take much. Leave overnight, and you should see the pool bottom covered with the particles, usually grayish color. Vacuum it up and you're done. Some of it may also be sucked into your filter. Hope that helps.

I love mine, but we don't have a lot of leaves. It picks up what leaves we do have, and the sand. Just make sure you clean it after every use.

I don't know if you have an above ground, or in ground pool. We have an in ground pool, and it hooks up where our pool vacuum hooks up. Sorry if you have an above ground pool, I am not sure where you would use it. Try asking the company that makes it. We love ours, so hope you can find a way to use one. It can not be used for leaves and large stuff. But it removes any small, float on top of the water stuff.

it seemed to work for my plants but over watering can turn the leaves brown also
